I've been wondering quite a bit about this subject. I must assume that other companies follow close to the same guidelines. It does not give me much comfort though buying a single barrel product that may not have been tasted for quality. It's tough to get a bum barrel at a high price.

The offending document has been changed, they tell me.

How is that any different than a craft distillery making up some crap story behind origin, recipe or process?

The rye looks to be a little out of my price range---but maybe I'll manage a taste or two at a good whiskey bar.<br /><br />Hopefully you got a bottle, or two, for your efforts. Thanks for the report.
